ELEGY ON THE RUINS OF FARLEY ; CASti.E, TH - E ANTIENT FAMILY SEAT OF THE HUNGEIVFOROS WRITTEN int A DECEASED 'LADY.* My Muse nor dande, 'nor brilliant ball, inspires, The gay resort of fashion she disdains, l'rotn gaud? scenes Ow, unperceived, retires, Wherpy wrapt in silence, Contemplation reigns-. No flattering object here attentiOn leadi in gladsome mirth to waste the tedious hour; Reflection here her Ober lesson reads, And O'er the Mind exerts her sor'reign power. Ye perishing remains of ancient state! Instrt►ctive teach. through all my theme preside; Unfold put useful 'science to the great, And paint the ignorance of huma❑ pride. In every moulderilig heap, by time o'erthroivn, E'er yet the spacious mansion be begun, - Tell them its fate is by - these reliques shown, When a few years their circling course have run. The bird of night, within her dusky hower,- Unseemly guest ! supplies man's vacant place; She takes possession of the lonely tower, And triumphs in the frailty of his race. Pensive I listen to her evening lay, Pleas'd to indulge the melancholy strain, . When the pale moon emits her silver ray, And lengthening shadows steal across the plain. Where the devoted mortal lingering lies, 'Lis said, she wanders through the midnight glogm; There fills the air with fearful prodigies, And warns the wretch unconscions of his doom, To leave at once the kind domestic sphere, To break throngh every tender partial tie; While Pity sheds the unavailing tear, And Nature yields unwillingly to die. The kindred tribe, asserting all their claim, Hold back th' affections of the struggling heart; Till Death, relentless, takes his final aim, And strikes the blow that must for ever part. What joys have been in former ages linown, Beneath this roof ! What hours of social glee! What maxims slid the geu'rous patrons own ! What friendly warmth and hospitality ! Here once the inviting portal, opening wide, Besought the weary traveller to rest; Nor was the cordial bounty then denied To him—with ills and poverty oppressed. The days have been when smiling plenty crown'd The festive board ; when, to the cheerful bowl, The sprightly jest in laughing peals went rouud, And turned to mirth was ev'ry social soul. The mnru of freedom waked the virgin band, Where, love inspired, the swain avowed his truth; Each took his blooming partner by the hand, And pass'd the pleasing holiday of youth. But. Time, from whose dominion nought can save, Has made succeeding sons his hapless prey, Has laid each boasted honour in the grave, And swept whole generations quite away. * The fair Author of these plaintive lines was acquainted with the celebrated Poet GRAY, and it is evident, from the pensive cast of these stanzas, that her wind was of a conge nial nature. We are indebted to the surviving Widower for the Poem, and cannot but sympathize with hin► in the grief which must attend the loss of so accomplished a character.

THEATRH.—The Rivals 'vas again repre schted last night at Covent-Garden Theatre, and was again powerfully supported by the comic strength of the Company. The success of Mr. FARRLN in Sir Anthony Absolute was confirmed, and the Comedy altogether bigbly applauded by a very large audit lice, who were most of them detain ed by The Barber of :Seville, which, sustained by the highly musical powers of Mrs. Dtcriorts, and the humorous efforts of the other Performers, is likely to remain a favahritt piece with the Public. Yesterday morning, about three o'clock, Mr. Rothschild's coach-house, at Stamford-hill, was broken open, and glasses of the coach;tht chariot curtains and seats, and various articles belonging to the coachman were stolen. The trout glass of the roach, which has not been built above a fortnight, was in one piece, and the thieves made great efforts to obtain possecsion of it.

The following •eirentnitance occurred last week in the upper part of Bath :—A man, having the appearance of a respectable butler, 'went into a furnished house ; which was to he let to'r few weeks, surveyed it, said it would eXactly suit his master, and, without hesitation, !greed on terms, ~nil took it ; observing, that his master was at the, Ilthite Hart, but Virntild be there in the•evening. After procuring references numerons tradesmen----grocers, butchers, bakers, &c. he went to order the necessaryarti-cles ; and in short time a vet y plenteous supply of the good things of this life was taken to the house ;. the various trariesineu tot forgetting to thank Mrs. for her kind recommendation. in the course of the evening, the butler again,ma , le his appearance, expressed some surprise that neither his ma , tet nor the housekeeper, ,had arrived ; bi t e said they would certainly soon he there, and was at last left inliiiet,nodisturbed possession. In the morning, however, it was discovered that he had decamped, and conveyed all the bread, meat, gro ceries, wines, &c. which he had readily obtained. on trust, through the credit of his appearance, and the truly respectable recommendation he had so artfully acquired. ROBBERY IN HYDE PARK —On Thursday night as Mrs. E. Martin, the wife of a cabinet maker, residing in King-street, Drury-lane, was coming through Hyde Park, from Knightsbridge, where she had beet' on a visit, two men and a woman met her near the Gravel-pits, and one of the former accosted her, saying, that he Was out of work, ru , d wanted some money, and. that she most give him some. Mrs. M, immedi ately screamed for assistance, and her cries brought a soldier that was. passing to the spot, on whose approach the robbers made off, taking with them Mrs. Martin's silk shawl. ROBBERY AND Itsscus.-LOn Wednesday night last about ,8 i'dock, a gang of fellows tent to the home of Mr. Crowder, hatter, in Union street, and while one of them entered the shop and endeavoured to amuse Mr. C. by stating to him that he wanted his hat new trimmed, his comrade stole several hats front the door, and made off. Mr. Crowder seized the man who had addressed him, sent for Watts, the constable, and gave him iiito custody, and Watts was proceed ing with him to the watch-house, when be was attacked by the other part of the gang, who rescued the pr isoner, and beat the constable in most inhuman manner. When picked up, seve ral minutes elapsed before any sign of life ap peared. SUICIDE.--The son of a most respecttible Ci tizen of London yesterday put an end to his ex+ istence, by cutting his throat. Toe cause his friends have not the most remote idea ot. SHOCKING ACCIDENT.-Yesterday morning, about eleven o'clock, Mr. William Taylor, cur rier, of No. 23, Brownlow-street, having placed some bird-lime on the tiles of his workshop, for the purpose of catching birds, in consequence of one of them entangling in the lime, Mr. Taylor in attempting to climb on the tiles trod on a rot ten waterspoot, which broke, and he pitched head foremost to the pavement of the yard, by which his skull was fractured in three different places ; he , was carried into his house in a state of insensibi lity, and a surgeon, who was procured, dressed his wounds, and he now lies in the greatest pain. without hope of recovery. An Inquisition was held in the Committee room of the London Hospital yesterday, on the body of Nicholas linekland Compton. From the evidence of John Jordan and others it appeared, that the deceased about tour o'clock on Saturday last was assisting in taking the foremast on board a new ship, called the Fame, belonging to Messrs. Dowson and Co.; and that during the operation the spars which supported the [Nast bloke, and the foremast tell upon his head. The skull was fractured, and the deceased survived alynit ao hour. The Captain, who was standing by, was near sharing the same fate : he was convinced it was an accident, and that no blame was im putable to any persoth Verdict—" Accidental Death." MOST MELANCHOLY OCCURRENCE.—With pain• ltd feeling we this week record another of those dreadful accidents, which the administering of im proper drugs, through mistake, so often oc casions. On Tuesday last, the wife of Mr. Kirby, farmer, at Hanging Grituston, near Gar. raby, having occasion to prepare a very common country medicine, consisting of brimstone and cream of tartar, mixed up in treacle, unfortu nately mistook a quantity of arsenic, which had been in a tea-put nearly seven years, for cream of tartar ; and did not discover the fatal mistake till too late. The medicine was given to three of the children and the servant-maid, who all pre• sently became so dreadfully ill, as to require the assistance of the factlrv. Two surgeons were sent, and soon arrived ; but two of the chi!. dren expired in a very short time ; and when our last account was received, the other and tile servant were not expected to recover. NVe under stand that Mrs. Kit by has ever since the fatal et-. fects of this untort u mite mistake been in a Mare bordering upon distraction ; and the ge neral feelings of the remainder of the family may be more easily conceived than described. We trust, this will operate as a caution to the public in future, not to act without greater circninspeC lion, avhen t h e y attempt to administer medicines 'o their tamilies —( York Herald ) ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.—TIi(IrSCItiy night a man named 1 ester, a plas'eier t in Shire-lane, Carey -street, atteuipitd to chstroy himself by cutting his throat: It seems that he had beeti jealous of his %vitt!, and had in consequence for some time meditated self-destruct ion.
